“Very nice upscale restaurant”

Business dinner for four. (If you are really going to do business, ask for a "quiet table"... it can get noisy during peak hours. We had one in the corner near the back and it was fine.)

We dined here with friends recently and as I note in my headline while its nice and I would definitely return I also felt there were some issues it needs to address. We had a nice table in the corner but had we been in the middle of the dining room we would have been subjected to the combined noise...

Went here for a recent business dinner. Four of us enjoyed very attentive service, and a wide selection of entre offerings. Two of us had the special fish of the day -- fresh trout. It was amazing, served with sautéed spinach and sweet potato wedges. One of my colleagues had the salmon and another enjoyed yet another fresh fish option....

So i decided to visit with hopes to get a great fish dish since I have heard many great things about RIS. When we sat, the table of 4 next to us all ordered burgers -they looked so good. So, my taste for fish was overcome by burger and fries.

The Portuguese seafood stew, at $34 dollars, was well seasoned, but contained a few mussels and clams, a small piece of fish and only one shrimp. It...

We went here at the recommendation of our hotel concierge. While the ambience is very pleasant here, the food was disappointing. Our group of four ordered the ribeye, branzino, and short rib dish. The rib eye was very tough, the short rib dish flavorless, and the branzino just ok. With one bottle of wine and no dessert, the tab was...

We went with another couple on a Saturday night at 7 and asked to be seated in the quiet back room. As a result, we were the only ones in the room through our appetizers and the room never got too loud to hear one another. This was a great decision as we could hear loud and raucous laughter from...

This was the second New Year's Eve we have spent at RIS. We really enjoy going there. The food is wonderful and while they acknowledge the fact that it is NYE it doesn't take away from their standard menu and well prepared food. We also like it for non-holiday dininig.
